San Bernardino, California – The final week of the ProRodeo barrel racing season has kicked off, bringing excitement and fierce competition among the top 20 cowgirls. These athletes are vying for the coveted top 15 positions in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) that will qualify them for the prestigious National Finals Rodeo (NFR).

Katelyn Scott is currently on a strong path, having performed well at two of three recent California rodeos. Heading into the final performance at San Bernardino, Scott leads the pack with impressive results and current standings bolstered by victories in both Pasadena and San Bernardino. Her performance in San Bernardino saw her clock in at a time of 14.92 seconds, earning her a prize of $3,952.

Other determined competitors include Tricia Aldridge and Halyn Lide, who secured their spots among the final eight at Sioux Falls, guaranteeing themselves $4,000 each. Their solid performances have not only pushed them into the spotlight but also affected the standings of their competitors.

Julie Plourde, who had maintained a stable position within the top 15 for several months, will not be advancing in this season’s competition. Despite her efforts to earn additional money at both Pasadena and Mona, her inability to win at Sioux Falls has eliminated her from qualification contention.

Mckenna Coronado, however, still retains a chance to qualify. Although she placed last at Pasadena, her victory at Poway and a commendable showing at Bakersfield have kept her in the race. Coronado currently occupies the No. 17 spot, and with her entries at San Bernardino, she could potentially surpass Plourde if she manages a win. The competition remains intense as the standings continue to shift leading into the final weekend.

The completed rodeos this week saw various champions emerge, marking key performances across the country:

Pasadena, Texas (Sept. 21-26): Stephanie Fryar took first place with a time of 15.04 seconds, earning $2,215.
Cumberland, Maine (Sept. 25): Alyssa LoBello won with a time of 14.11 seconds, receiving $450.
Mona, Utah (Sept. 26-27): Hailey Garrison clinched victory with a time of 17.60 seconds, earning $2,107.
Bakersfield, California (Sept. 25-27): Sharon Gow won with a time of 17.20 seconds, earning $1,030.
Stephenville, Texas (Sept. 26-28): Sharin Hall finished first with a time of 16.91 seconds, winning $2,801.
Las Cruces, New Mexico (Sept. 26-27): Jana Bean finished first, clocking a time of 15.67 seconds for a prize of $1,690.
New Braunfels, Texas (Sept. 25-27): Michaela Robertson secured first place with a time of 16.14 seconds, winning $947.
Poway, California (Sept. 26-27): Mckenna Coronado won with a time of 17.02 seconds, earning $2,352.
